The Linux Alternative Project

Welcome to the Linux Alternative Project (formerly the Linux
Equivalent Project). My goal is to provide an informational website
available to all linux users. The website is currently in beta form and I
will periodically update the database with Windows software and the
Linux equivalents and alternatives.

Contribute to this site at Github!
